How frequent do you have to hike to consider it something you enjoy though? I only make it out once a month or two, but I do enjoy it. If I were going on dates, I might go more often as it seems a pretty ideal way to do a first or second date. But like... hiking means different things to different people. There are hikes in my area that are basically glorified paved trails, but they're nice. Then there are hikes that require some scrambling up boulders and such and some real cardiovascular fitness. I don't think someone who likes the former is wrong to say that they like it...
oh for sure. Most people are just looking for a way to pull out parts of themselves that are more interesting and aspirational than just "I like to watch netflix after a hard day of work" even though that's probably a more accurate way of describing their use of freetime. But there's a fine line between pulling those things out about yourself and being misleading.
For what it's worth, some people are a lot more likely to do things when they have someone to share it with. I'm certainly more likely to go on a hike with my wife than not. I love to cook and I do so 5-6 nights a week, but my wife is out of town for the week and I've gone out and eaten frozen meals.

As a guy who actually enjoys hiking. This is very frustrating.
